When Li Quan participated in the "Hearth Concert", he invited his friend Ding Wei to come to help.
Before Ding Wei took the stage, Li Quan talked to the host Ji Jie about this friend he had known since childhood, and he said bluntly that she had been stuck in the appearance of a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl in her heart, and suddenly Ji Jie gossiped and asked: "Have you ever liked her?"
Li Quan was stunned, and then he looked shy, and replied textbook-like: "I like beautiful things." The deep friendship between the two is not something that can be clearly explained in two words, even if the two people live in Beijing for a long time and one person in Shanghai, they do not often contact each other, but the friendship is still the same.
Talking about Ding Wei, I think everyone will be impressed by her musical talent, in the recently broadcast "Sister Riding the Wind and Waves", Yi Nengjing, Huang Shengyi, Zhang Meng trio performed Ding Wei's "Girl and Quartet".
As a singer, Ding Wei is not very prolific, debuting for more than 20 years, and has successively produced the albums "Butterfly with Broken Wings", "Beginning" and "Dear Ding Wei", which won her best album, best producer, best female singer, best composer, best single and other awards in the Chinese music scene.
I thought she would continue to appear on the big screen, but she chose to retire and leave the music scenes for the time being, but she never stopped making music, but turned to the backstage, as a film and television music producer, and the film music created for the movie "33 Days of Lost Love" with Lin Chaoyang was nominated for the best original film music at the "Taiwan Film Golden Horse Award".
At the same time, it is also to use this period of time to escape from the pop music circle, dive into the field outside the entertainment industry, and precipitate their relationship with music, so that they can temporarily leave the music scene for 13 years and return strongly with the album "Untied".
Ding Wei has such excellent achievements on the road of music, in addition to her own efforts, it is inseparable from her father's influence on her.
Ding Wei was born in 1972 in Nanjing, Jiangsu Province, at the age of 10 was admitted to the Shanghai Conservatory of Music Affiliated Primary School, since then embarked on the road of music learning from home, Ding Wei chose the music major is also because her father grew up to her training, let her have an interest in this, since then firmly go on.
"Although my father was very strict with me, after many years, I am particularly grateful to my father, because he cultivated a stoic attitude towards me, just like my current requirements for albums and music are according to my father's standards, music and words, once made, become something similar to evidence, can not be changed, so now I will not do anything I am not sure about." 」
Ding Wei's family lives in a suburb of Nanjing, life is not easy, for some reason, Ding's father imposed his life ideals on Ding Wei and her sister, so he forced them to learn erhu from an early age, and was also trained by Ding's father's devilish style, other children are playing, they are learning erhu.
Ding's father was a very strict person, not only strictly demanding Ding Wei and their sisters, but also sometimes beating them with his hands and punishing them for kneeling on the washboard.
However, it is precisely because of her father's strictness that Ding Wei has a strong interest in music, has a skill, has achieved her career, and also brought us a lot of good music.
One of the songs, "Winter is Coming", is dedicated to Ding Wei's father, but when this song was made, Ding Wei's father had died of cancer and could not hear it with his own ears, but he would feel Ding Wei's intentions.
Ding Wei is not a person who pursues quantity and false fame, so she has only released four albums in more than twenty years since her debut, but through these four albums, she has proved her attitude towards music.
Ding Wei has been majoring in erhu since she was a child, but since middle school, she has slowly fallen in love with popular music, but she has not changed the direction of study against her father's wishes, until she went to college, she did not want to follow her father's ideas anymore, she wanted to do what she liked, so she chose to compose.
By chance, she met Zhang Peiren, the head of a record company, and during the chat, Zhang Peiren asked Ding Wei why she didn't think about writing songs for herself.
Ding Wei had never thought about this aspect, so she hadn't tried it, and she didn't know if she could do it. Zhang Peiren said to send her two records first so that she could try, and the result was that it was like this, which made Ding Wei make up her mind to become an original singer.
But in the early 90s, many people were not very receptive to popular music, and they felt that popular music was difficult to wait for elegance, but Ding Wei did not have this idea, she felt that music did not have a distinction between high and low, only good and bad, and she had to do the artwork in popular music.
And Ding Wei has been adhering to this creative concept for so many years: the songs written should have personality, rather than pursuing some commonality with interests.
Ding Wei's husband, Lin Chaoyang, is both her marriage partner and her work partner.
Lin Chaoyang is a classmate of Ding Wei's sister, and Ding Wei has been an alumnus since childhood, but Lin Chaoyang went to Russia to study, and in 1996, Lin Chaoyang, who returned from studying abroad to teach at the Central Conservatory of Music, and Ding Wei, who had just graduated, came to Beijing one after another.
Ding Wei was preparing her song "Girl and Quartet" at that time, and wanted to ask Lin Chaoyang to record a quartet for her, but unfortunately, she caught up with Lin Chaoyang's time of tour, so the two did not have follow-up contact.
Until Ding Wei's sister came to Beijing and contacted this old classmate to get together. Lin Chaoyang and Ding Wei both make music, so there are many topics between them, and gradually they are getting acquainted.
Ding Wei's personality is very slow and hot, like a hibernating plant, treating everything indifferently, and not striving for any fame and fortune, and Lin Chaoyang's arrival, like the sunflower, gradually warmed her, Ding Wei gradually showed herself more, to try things that she thought could not be done before.
Before meeting Lin Chaoyang, there were many things other than singing that found Ding Wei, and she didn't want to refuse, because she felt that making music was making music and should not be affected by others.
In 2006, Hunan Satellite TV's talent entertainment program "Super Girl" invited Ding Wei to serve as a judge in the Guangzhou Singing District, and Ding Wei, who habitually refused, was finally persuaded by Lin Chaoyang, so we saw Ding Wei's other identity, the draft mentor.
If you want to say that there are all-round female singers in the music circle, then Ding Wei must be one of them, and there are really not many artists like Ding Wei who insist on themselves and are willing to spend more than ten years to create a new album.
